By Updated

Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur has 6+ food tours and culinary experiences covered in this guide, led by Marseille Bouillabaisse and Vieux-Port Food Walk, Nice Vieux-Nice Market and Niçoise Cooking Class and Aix-en-Provence Truffle Hunt and Lunch.

Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur is France's most sun-drenched region, stretching from the Rhône delta in the west to the Italian border in the east. It encompasses the world-famous French Riviera (Côte d'Azur) — Nice, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez — the ancient Provençal heartland of Aix-en-Provence and Avignon, Marseille's rugged port culture, the violet lavender plateaus of Valensole, the turquoise-water Calanques, and the dramatic Gorges du Verdon. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, the region is France's premier year-round destination.
